Baekje and Silla (57 B.C – 918) ruled the southern parts of the peninsula, Silla in the west and Baekje in the east.

The history of Baekje is often divided according to the capitals; Hanseong period (18 B.C – 475), Ungjin period (475 – 534) and Sabi period (534 -660).

The era of King Mu was a period of massive constructions, Buddhist temples, a famous pond called Gungnamji was completed during his period and Baekje was fiercely trying to expand its territories, having constant clashes with Silla Kingdom.

According to Baekjebongi in Samguksagi, Baekje settled its territory in the 13th year (6 B.C.) of King Onjo and the boundaries were Paeha in the north and Ungcheon in the south and the sea in the west and Juyang in the east.

After Baekje was dispossessed of the basin of the Han-gang(river) by Goguryeo, Baekje may have concentrated all its energies on the stabilization of royal authority and the management of the south for a while.

Baekje’s efforts to recapture the basin of the Han-gang(river) bore fruit during the reign of King Seong.

Mu (reigned 600–641) was the thirtieth king of the Korean Baekje kingdom.

His policies in the latter half of his reign, which emphasized construction projects at the expense of national defence, are often thought to have contributed to the fall of Baekje which took place twenty years after his death.

Because reliable historical sources are hard to find for the Three Kingdoms period, the specifics of Mu's policies are not certain.

392-405) was the 17th king of the ancient Korean kingdom of Baekje, one of the Three Kingdoms of Korea.

King Asin appointed his maternal uncle Jin Mu as chief general and ordered him to attack Goguryeo repeatedly in the early 390s, but each attack was defeated.

I cringe every time I hear a 5th Dan telling a classroom full of students about how the Kingdom of Silla overcame Kogoryo and Baekje, because they had the Hwarang-do "warriors" who were trained in the same two-thousand-year-old Taekwondo that we do today.

Not to mention all the political manuevering and back-stabbing going on to take control of various aspects of Korean life that had been controlled by the Japanese.

Though published in Korea, it was largely a reprinting of the earlier Chinese treatise and, as such, a catalogue of chuan-fa (kwon bup) from China.
